Explain the entropy of water liquid

Reference no: EM13161409

a) Entropy of vaporization of most liquids at 1 bar is all close to 85 J/K*MOL (also called Trouton's rule). Provide a physical explanation for the Trouton's rule. (b) Entropy of vaporization of water liquid however is noticeably higher than other liquids (109 vs. 85.) Provide another physical explanation for the deviation seen for water entropy of vaporization. (c) A student learned in physical chemistry that the second- law thermodynamics dictates that the entropy of the universe always increases in a spontaneous process. Then he observed that when the temperature drops below O C, water automatically freeze. So he concluded that entropy of ice must be greater than that the entropy of water liquid at 0 C. do you agree with his conclusion?
